Who does Fiona look like?

(Ivan)
(Fiona)
Fiona definitely has her own look. However, being the third child, she can't help but be compared. The pictures of the girls were easy to match up, of course, they are wearing the same outfit. This is what I think makes them look more alike in the match up of pictures. Deacon and I actually think Ivan and Fiona look a lot more alike, so naturally I thought finding a picture where they looked alike as babies would be simple. Unfortunately, Ivan didn't get so many pictures as a baby (sad!) and Fiona hardly opened her eyes at the beginning, so this was the best I could do. It is always interesting to hear who other people think your children look like. This is just my take on it. The bottom line is that our kids all look alike. I have been told that it may be more so than some other siblings.

Fiona's Baptism

We are blessed to have a third little one baptized. On Sunday, July 6th, Fiona Grace was baptized at Christ Church by our pastor Doug Wilson. As we were walking up to the front of the church, Ivan said, "Mom, this is going to be really fun!" On the way back to our chairs, he said, "That was pretty fun, right?" The kids seemed to share in the excitement of the event. We celebrated with Fiona that afternoon with a barbecue and a special toast to our daughter. The Hoefts, Jacksons, Grandma Green and Aunt Lisa all ate together and then Madsons stopped by a little later.

Ivan's Mug Shot

Ivan was just meant to have short hair. We are encouraging bravery in the hard task of getting a haircut. Deacon gave Ivan a brief and mini mohawk to lighten Ivan's mood during the haircut.
